The 1978 Tour de Corse (also known as the 22º Tour de Corse - Rallye de France) was the 10th round of the sixth World Rally Championship season, and the 18th in the Cup for Rally Drivers. It took place on November 4 and 5 in the County of Corsica in France, and the rally was run primarily on the road. Bernard Darniche repeated his 1977 win with co-driver Alain Mahé, again driving a Fiat 131 Abarth - as did second-place finisher Jean-Claude Andruet and third-placed Sandro Munari.
Report
In 1978, the Tour de Corse in Corsica was the penultimate race of the World Rally Championship. The race was held across ten stages, with Jean-Claude Andruet winning four of them. Andruet led the rally until the ninth stage. As usual, most of the top finishers (9 out of the top 10) were from France. Triumph had mounted a significant effort this year, with two TR7 V8s driven by Tony Pond and Jean-Luc Thérier, but both had to retire before the first two special stages were over after the transmission oil plugs fell out of both the cars.
Aside from four Fiat 131 Abarth in the top five, three Porsche 911, two Opel Kadett GT/E, and one Alpine A110 finished in the points.
